"It all started with a DREAM."

Welcome to The Law Office of D. Cole Phelps, PLLC, where our commitment to community and service is at the heart of everything we do. Founded on October 18, 2013, by Attorney D. Cole Phelps, our firm was born out of a deep desire to give back to the community that played a significant role in shaping his life and career. Attorney Phelps returned to his roots in Plymouth, Washington County, North Carolina, with the goal of providing dedicated and compassionate legal representation to the people of his home county and beyond.

At The Law Office of D. Cole Phelps, PLLC, we take pride in serving the legal needs of clients across Bertie, Martin, Tyrrell, and Washington counties, with our services extending to other areas as needed. Our firm is built on a foundation of trust, integrity, and a genuine commitment to making a positive impact in the lives of our clients.

We understand that navigating legal challenges can be overwhelming, which is why we are here to guide you every step of the way. Our practice areas are diverse, allowing us to address a wide range of legal matters, including traffic violations, criminal defense for misdemeanors and felonies, expungements, estate planning, small business formation, family law, debt collection, and real estate transactions. We are dedicated to providing personalized legal solutions tailored to meet your unique needs.

At the core of our practice is the belief—that everyone—deserves access to quality legal representation. Whether you’re seeking to clear your criminal record, protect your assets through estate planning, or resolve a family dispute, you can trust that we will approach your case with the care and attention it deserves. We invite you to explore our website to learn more about how we can assist you and to discover the values that drive our firm.

"I am persuaded that if most people saw what I see on a regular basis, they would want change." - Attorney Bryan Stevenson

Criminal Law

Are you familiar with how the criminal justice system works? Are you aware of certain constitutional rights that you have? Have you been accused of committing a misdemeanor or felony in North Carolina?

Establishing a Small Business

Have you thought about forming a small business? Have you thought about forming a partnership, a limited liability corporation (LLC), a professional limited liability corporation (PLLC), or corporation? Do you know the requirements that you must comply with for your business to be legal under North Carolina law?

Traffic Tickets

Since our location is close to the Outer Banks, we see a number of individuals who have been pulled over and given a traffic citation on their way to vacation. If that’s you, you should get an attorney immediately. If you simply pay off your ticket, it is the same as pleading guilty, and can have a disastrous long-term effect on your driving history and insurance rates.
